Long Kiss, a southern-hemisphere three-year-old, finished runner-up in Uruguay in August before making all on his debut here last month. Sharp Army made most and battled back when headed early last month but ALSEYOOB (NAP) could outclass them here. A debut winner at Newmarket in July, she then scored at Ascot in September before finding the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at HQ beyond her. The well-bred Seyouff couldn't get close to the winner on his debut but ran on and will improve a bundle.
